UPDATE: Celebrating UC Success Announces Essay Contest Winners

Date:5/12/2008

tly celebrated her 60th birthday,

a milestone which she saw as distant and jeopardized when she was

that she was fortunate to have the guidance of a compassionate

gastroenterologist, the benefit of modern pharmaceuticals, the ongoing

research devoted to curing UC, and the support of a terrific family.

she has found that the keys to living successfully with UC are prayer,

education, the right foods and medication, exercise and a good sense of
